Some of my views on climate change ...

Hi All, it is with a very heavy heart that I, Eoin, eldest son of Eamonn, have to tell you that unfortunately my father passed away suddenly on last Tuesday 21st. He is sorely missed by his wife Angelina and his sons Conor, Kevin and Aidan. rip.ie/death-notice/e…

@calahonda4 @BarryWhyte85 The CANDIDATE gets their costs back if they get 12.5% of quota ..... NOT their backers?

@BarryWhyte85 Of course we know FF will be voting JG to get the election costs back. And yes, it’s secret ballot , good answer.

The Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has said that when a lawyer takes on a case, it doesn’t mean “they are endorsing the opinions or behaviour of that client”. He also said “I've noticed in recent years from all sides of the political spectrum, criticism being directed at lawyers because of the clients who they represent. I don't think it's correct or fair to criticise lawyers because of the actions you [took] in the past…” When I asked him if would he be voting for Heather Humphreys like some of his party colleagues, he replied “I’ll be voting the same way you’ll be voting… by secret ballot”.

@doyle_esther We've had them visit on and off for a few years now. Never saw them near our apple tree (now harvested!) They don't tend to stay around for any lengthy period so our smaller birds don't seem to suffer.

@yamon2008 These lads and lassies get very bold and territorial. They attack the small birds. They will also eat your apples, even the sour bramleys.

Great Spotted Woodpecker back .... this is first female I've been able to picture at feeder ....

@molloy1916 How can FF recoup their costs? Candidates get THEIR costs if they get 12.5% of quota NOT their backers?

Let's get this right. FF are voting for Jim Gavin, trying to secure 12.5% of the vote, so that tax payers have to cough up the €250,000 for Michéal Martin's self-inflicted, disastrous election strategy.

@TCM39599285 My Xiaomi 11t phone camera on a tripod outside operated from inside (through French doors!) using a selfie remote.

@yamon2008 Wow. Have u a camera set up for taking those photographs?

@caulmick @ST__Ireland He should consult Maria Steen! Isn't she in touch with that department?

Fine Gael seeks 'miracle' to save Humphreys' presidential campaign Heather Humphreys has it 'all to play for' Simon Harris, the party leader and tanaiste says, as Catherine Connolly fends off difficult questions Humphreys drafted in extra government advisers into her campaign team as she battled to make up ground in the race for Aras an Uachtarain ahead of a crunch Prime Time TV debate on Tuesday. But there is significant anxiety across Fine Gael about how the campaign has played out. #HeatherHumphreys #Aras25 #SimonHarris thetimes.com/article/507ee8…

@thelittlegreen6 Where's Mehole? Surely he's on this dream team?

Heather Humphreys campaign now backed by Darragh O’Brien and Bertie Ahern — the dream team behind unaffordable houses and brown envelopes. Somewhere, Catherine Connolly is writing a thank-you note

@noshiteplease No .... I checked them and Grok is right ..... 🤪

@yamon2008 Are you doubting the numbers

#Aras25 #spoilthevote I hadn't realised out of 1,492,338 votes cast in the last presidential election there was only 18,438 spoiled votes (1.24% of the total). Turnout was 43.9% Two things 4 sure next Friday, there'll be a lower Turnout & a higher total of Spoiled Votes

@noshiteplease Which confirms what I said 🤔

@yamon2008 That's what it's there for 😉

@noshiteplease That is CHEATING!

@yamon2008 Out of curiosity I asked Grok

Juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker pictured here end of August ...

'For Fianna Fáil .... There was a flicker of hope .... that Jim Gavin could ... get the 12.5 per cent of the vote that would have saved its election expenses. ' Surely only candidates expenses are reimbursed NOT those of their backers? irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/1…

@Red_Hanrahan 📷Red Hanrahan 🇮🇪 ハヌラハンーあか 📷@Red_Hanrahan·20h Catherine spoke in Dail Eireann after that visit and explained how the sanctions were leading to medicines not being available to innocent citizens .... !kildarestreet.com/debate/?id=201…

You're currently backing a candidate that went to Syria AFTER they had slaughtered innocents with chemical weapons, and who, after her return, campaigned for ending sanctions against the pictured dictators regime. #Aras25

@helencatshmm He seems to somehow hang in there ....... ????

@yamon2008 The start of Micheal's demise as party leader 🤔

Are FF's core voters abandoning ship?

@TCM39599285 That's a long slow effect .... 5 points down since last poll feels more like a Martin /Gavin reaction?

@yamon2008 Yes, old age and death.

@garrethmcdaid Would she not lose her chance of recovering campaign expenses if she pulled out?

I'll offer 9/2 on Heather Humphries withdrawing from the campaign by Sunday night.
